I am trying to save a video, and also save its corresponding timestamps from openMV to my computer. How exactly would I do that? I know I can save a video with the frame buffer, but that does not have timestamps. I could record the timestamps and save them along with the video onto an SD card, but i don't want to save it onto an SD card and then have to transfer it onto the computer. Is there a way to save the video and timestamps from OpenMV to my computer?

Hi, you can use the draw_string method to draw the time stamp on the frame buffer. For he next release we upgraded the method to allow for font scaling but for the current firmware it's pretty basic. Um, anyway, give the draw_string() method a try.

The script uses numpy to store an iamge in a numpy array. It's really not anything other than a starting point for talking to the camea. Given the questions you are asking I'm guessing you like something more turn key.

Unfortunately, I don't have the ability to offer any more than than being able to pull images into a numpy array for python right now.

Then prints the result of the script if there was an error. Otherwise the script that you sent to the camera will run and the one of the PC will exit. If you'd like to then grab image data and text output you must add a loop of doing:
